Nature Circle Time: Pre-K and Kindergarten

In Nature Circle Time, our little learners will embark on an exciting journey to discover the wonders of the natural world. They will learn about various aspects of nature, including plants, animals, weather, and ecosystems, through engaging stories, songs, and observations. The topics repeat each month, but the content does not repeat for the year.

Each session of Nature Circle Time is carefully structured to maximize engagement and learning. Learners begin with a warm welcome and introduction to the day's theme, followed by calendar time. Then we will begin with an observation activity where children explore a nature object or concept. Story time involves reading a short, nature-themed book or poem. We then move into an interactive song or rhyme with actions to get everyone moving.  I encourage children to share their observations or creations during a discussion and sharing time, and we wrap up each session with a summary of the day's lesson and a cheerful goodbye song. 

My teaching style is nurturing, interactive, and inclusive. I aim to create a supportive environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to explore. I will focus on experiential learning, allowing children to learn through direct interaction with nature and creative expression. 

At Nature Circle Time, I am committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all children. This program is designed to accommodate various learning styles and needs, and I am dedicated to making any necessary adjustments to ensure that every child can fully participate and benefit from our activities. It is my belief that by fostering an inclusive atmosphere, we can enrich the learning experience for all and nurture a community where every child can thrive and develop a deep connection with nature.  #outdoor #natureclassroom
